Pondering moving my web server out of the US.
The catch is, I have my own bookstore. It uses Paypal and Stripe. As I understand it, if the site is hosted in another country, then I have to consider that country's laws as well as those here. Which is not unreasonable.
But how much overhead do I want to cope with?
If Stripe & Paypal turned on me, I'd basically be sunk anyway.

A lot of people are asking the question "How do I run my services outside the US?" right now. I would definitely buy a book that explains:
- What to look for in a provider
- How to automate the basics like backups, updates, and migrations
- email (you've got that covered), file sharing, office documents and spreadsheets
- fediverse based social media
- whatever else a small business needs (calendars, scheduling, crm, etc)
- IdP and SSO for the above so you don't have to create separate accounts for each

no, there isn't.
the trick is multiple payment channels, each bound to different governments that won't cooperate.
